Pros

Few layers of management and a rapid decision making company. Terrific non-management employees. Facilties are generally excellent and dedication to producing a quality product is high. Good job security.

Cons

Cronyism runs rampant throughout the organization and favoritsim abounds. Promotions and oppotunties depend less on performance and more on who you know. Pay is poor, benefits only average. Top-level leadership is out of touch.

Pros

I left my old wage here because Cook just gave a $1 increase to current employees but not new ones, so yeah.. any ways the Benefits, Schedule flexibility, and Overtime are probably the only good things.

Cons

Higher-ups suck. Ranging from team leads to middle management. Lots of other departments are typically nice, but some departments are all about control and leave no room for moving up, especially with all the favoritism each department has.
